“Ya never know what cha gonna get” I can still hear Tom Hanks’ drawl in my mind as he says it!! Or remember the Bertie Bott’s every flavoured jellybean from Harry Potter? Ron Weasley would always end up with the vomit or phlegm flavoured ones!! Life really is like that. We get brainwashed by the media that we will all live in monster homes, nuclear families, have upwardly mobile jobs and go on lots of holidays. The truth is…….life isn’t fair and difficult things that we were not expecting….. happen. When they do we can get caught up in negative thinking and obsessing. Amma says it’s like being in a supermarket. When you go to the supermarket, you don’t think about the things you don’t want to get….you just look for the things you do want. We need to pay attention to our thoughts and take charge of our minds. We don’t get angry that the grocery store has things we don’t want in it. Sometimes our minds are gravitating towards things that we cannot control or that make us angry. What is more helpful is to focus on what we have control of or find a positive learning that we can get out of the situation. That way we are back in charge of our lives and feeling empowered. That’s what I want for all of us.
